197 meets Eibach

[trile]

this is just after the springs were fited.
I'm told it will be a tad lower after they "settle".
Looks perfect in flesh.Car handles even better.No body-roll at all.Better feedback from the steering wheel.
A little bit more uncomfortable in the back seats but hey... who cares lol

 

[Merk]

Yeah will get lower and lower as the miles go on buddy, looks ace.

 

[Jay Payne]

That looks lovely. I really like that colour too

 

[trile]

Cheers !

I'm glad I didn't go for H&R because the roads here are unforgiving and I want my kidneys to stay in place lol

Best mod for that money.
Maybe when I have money I'll get some coilovers but this is just perfect.
It does look like it needs spacers eh ? 15...20 mm ?

 

[Ross16V]

looks quite well spaced as it is mate, dont want to mess with it too much. Looks lovely though!

 

[clvs2222]

Cracker!

 

[ForceIndia]

Best colour, looks great. The 197's look spot on TBH.

 

[Tigger]

Looks just right and the photos are stunning!

What effects did you use on the 1st & 3rd pic?

 

[trile]

just darkened a tad and messed a bit with shadow/higlighting options

 

[Tigger]

Awesome mate, how much does it cost for a full tank over there?

 

[197RR]

[Jason_E]

[Jay]

Jeeeeez gutted. Hope the eibachs wernt to blame?

 

[Jason_E]

Worn tires + High speeds iirc.

 

[trile]

true.
the car is going to be repaired after all

found a donour car so...not in a hurry, it will be as good as new

at the moment i'm a driving a 1.6 diesel and boy do I save a lot of money :rasp:

 

[chappo]

perfect mate,

loving the colour as well,

 

[197RR]

don't worry metal can be replaced, hope you're ok

I asked about the Eibachs because it seems there are no Sportlines for this model and the car looks as if it's lowered much more than 20mm which is the Pro-kit lowering

 

[Duli]

true.
